Dominikowice, Lesser Poland Voivodeship
Dominikowice is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Gorlice, within Gorlice County, Lesser Poland Voivodeship, in southern Poland. It lies approximately east of Gorlice and south-east of the regional capital Kraków.
The village has an approximate population of 2,000.
The village belongs to one of the oldest rural settlements in the area, having been endowed by the king on a Polish knight, Dominik Pieniążek in 1291. The village has long comprised what is now the villages of Kobylanka, Klęczany and other negligible adjacent areas, until those two became separate nobility's estates.
Unlike most of the neighbouring villages, which before the Operation Vistula were largely inhabited by Rusyns' populations, throughout the history, Dominikowice and Kobylanka constituted almost homogenously Polish settlement.
